Hi, have anyone else noticed that strange blue bar on the bottom of the screen in every game? It doesn't appear in any app just in games. I have recorded how it looks like.
Noticed it. I think it happens during charging?
No, my charger is not plugged in. What may it be? Can we disable it?
Edit:
Ok, I found it. It's temperature monitoring. When enabled it shows that blue bar. It tunes brightness and CPU speed to lower temperature
Hello OP,
I guess we're talking about the same thing as we did here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/strange-edge-lighting-behaviour-t3961374
Do you have some clues about deactivating this?

Hi!
Only by disabling temperature monitoring. Speed won't be throttled and blue bar won't appear
Hi,
I'll give a try, and if it's that, thanks a lot, this ugly notification was driving me crazy!
Temperature Control
I mean, it's really not that annoying... It's just a tiny blue bar probably 5 pixels tall that scrolls back and forth like edge lighting... The only thing I have activated in Game Booster is the temperature moderator, which is most likely the reason for the blue bar. I'm glad it's just a tiny blue bar on the bottom off the screen than some big elaborate toast message saying "Game Booster active with Temperature Controller" or some junk like that... It's just notifying you that you have Game Booster features activated.
To be honest, I wish Game Launcher was on the Note 10/10+. I am one that liked Game Launcher, having it automatically group my games instead of having to make a folder and manually add them. It was interesting to see my stats and have enerything all together. (Please don't off-topic to this. The primary reason of my post was to back-up the Temperature Moderater feature of Game Booster.)

I see it work when the screen is on. However, when my screen is in the Always On mode, I find it only ever has the edge lighting effect when I use Google assistant. At no other time will the edge lighting work, and I have it set to Always in settings.
Is this the expected behavior? Seems kinda strange to only do it when your attention is already on the screen...

Ok, goto settings>Display>Edge Screen>Edge Lighting> then scoll to the bottom and click Manage Notifications. Choose the apps you want it to work with.
You can also choose each app to have it's own colour,
After you have selected the apps you want to use edge with click back and click on Edge Lighting Style then choose colour and then app colour. You can then give each app a different colour.

Oh and when you have set the colours change width setting to wide, it shows up much brighter then
Has anyone noticed that screen brightness is handled a little differently? I usually kept my brightness at about 35% or so (bout 1/4 of the way in the slide bar), now it's at like 65% (3/4) of the slide bar. Min and Max brightness seem the same imo.
Yes, noticed the exact same thing, change was made on purpose. I'm not exactly sure of the reason why.

Interesting, whatever lol as long as it's not eating more battery! Lol
There was a thread on this yesterday with some more information...
Also noticed that power saver does not lower the brightness either.
Here it is
I think this change occurred in DP4 as I kept brightness at about the one-quarter mark. Since DP4 I've had to increase brightness to about one-half. Adaptive brightness is off.

Hi all, I was just wondering how Nova Launcher runs and looks on the S4?
I use it on my S9+ to get 7 x 7 rows of icons etc, as everytime I see the S4 I keep thinking there is so much wasted space on the big screen. So is it possible anyone out there is using it and can post a picture of their home screen with more icons etc on it?
It may not be what you looking for as I like to keep it clean but here are my screenshots
And app drawer
Looks fine, but I cannot get the dock at the bottom of the screen in landscape mode.
Answer Nova :" Hello,
That's all determined by your screen resolution and screen DPI. That's not something a launcher can control at all"
And just having more docking pages was what I like about Nova.
Dock on the right is unhandy. You easily touch it by accident.
I use the S4 mostly in landscape. Only apps that @#!%*##! force me portrait, let me no choice.
s2 and s3 never gave me problems.

So you have the docking at the bottom in landscape ?
Wrong settings in my case?
I actually like that the dock shows on the side in portrait mode. It means there is more vertical space so I set my grid size to 7x7. Ive just started setting up my home screen but I like the feel with Nova so far

Thanks everyone for the replies, its good to see that lots of that otherwise wasted space with the massive Touchwiz UI can be put to better use when using Nova Launcher

You need to change screen zoom in display settings for that. Mine is set to smallest available.
Yesss, that did it.
The smallest zoom it will be!
I love NOVA again!
Thanks.
Huib
P.s. now many more applications work correct, like the Dutch Telegraaf. It used to start in portrait first.. so zoom to minimize it should be.
I just got rid of the dock and but Row of icons along the bottom. Making the dpi smaller does work but it also messes with the play store
how?
found out thatt with minim zoom my dutch newspaper nicely opens in ladscape, before it was portrait

Hi, what is screen zoom? Is it screen resolution?
It's kind of like Windows scaling, nothing to do with resolution.
this might be a weird problem or question, but I have this random blue light flashing slowly over navigation bar when I'm on a game in landscape screen, such as Heir of Light or Mobile Legend. I use the hidden navigation bar type instead the one that taking extra space. I wonder if it's coming from 3rd party AoD I used before, such as Notification Light or Always on Edge, but I have them both uninstalled already, I wonder if it's coming from them because previously I never saw this blue light over my navigation bar. I noticed several things about this light:
This light appears few seconds after I opened a game that is on landscape mode which hides the navigation bar. The light will flow surrounding the navigation bar area for around 2 times then it will disappear completely.
It only appears once on every restart, so if I open the same game later, it won't show until I restart my phone and open the game again.
I've tried to see if it comes in other app so I tried on Whatsapp and Firefox browser on landscape mode but the light didn't show up at all
I'm concerned with the battery this light consumes so I also checked what's running my battery life but I didn't find any unusual app running or hard-consuming my battery
Does anyone have any idea what this light is? or anyone else having this problem? What I want to know is where this light is coming from and is there any way to turn it off? because I really don't like unnecessary app consumes by battery...
I have attached a screenshot about how it looks like, any kind of help would be appreciated.. thanks in advance
SOLVED:
Thanks to chirogan that mentioned this is actually coming from the Game Booster feature

While playing a game, make the navigation bar appear and youll see a game booster icon in the lower left corner. Click on it and youll see monitoring temperature and memory icon. Click on it. Then click on Auto Control and disable it. Youll notice that the blue light will be gone because it doesnt optimize your apps anymore.

It's a possibility.. but this light doesnt just show on any app.. it only appears on games that take landscape and full screen that force hide the navigation bar.. I tried to see if it appears on YouTube app but it didnt.. it also doesnt show on portrait games.. im wondering if this has something with Game Tools or Game Booster or anything that triggers when the user plays games on full screen to let them know 'where' the navigation bar is but not sure yet Beside, if it's from firmware, I expect to already see this light from the latest OTA I got on September, instead I only noticed this light few days ago when I also happened to try some 3rd party AoD apps, which also I uninstalled immediately after play around and checking out how they look

Have you rebooted your phone after uninstalling those apps?
Look for a app called "Game Launcher" it may have some settings ticked to do that.

Are you using any of those GoodLock apps? If I am not wrong there was something like this in one of those apps.

I am using some of GoodLock apps I got from https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/themes/appssamsung-goodlock-2019-pie-apps-t3958121 , but not all of them. only these:
LockStar - for Lockscreen style
NiceShot - for Screen recording
QuickStar - for Status bar and Notification style
ClockFace - for custom clock on lockscreen
I also got One Hand Operation+ but it's from Galaxy Store. I could understand if I have some GoodLock apps for navigation bar, but I didnt install NavStar or any 3rd party app for navigation bar since I dont use the "button" style at all because it's taking more space of my screen

Can you try to disable or uninstall One Hand Operation+ to be sure? I think it causes it.

Its not a bug. Its an application called Game Booster.
What Game booster does is to control and monitor the Temperature and Memory. Once it detects that the application is heating or consuming too much memory, it optimized the phone by closing apps, adjusting brightness and other things that god only knows what. This is to prevent your app from over heating and forcr closing due to memory issues. Once optimization occurs, thats when the blue light over the navigation bar appears. In theory, it does the opposite of what you think. It optimizes the phone in such a way that it prevents abnormal usage in battery and memory to give the best experience in gaming. But sometimes it compromises the app by throtthling the game when it needs a boost in CPU and GPU. It depends on the application on when youd like to activate or disable this feature.
Do you want to disable it?

Then click on Auto Control and disable it. Youll notice that the blue light will be gone because it doesnt optimize your apps anymore.
Edit: out of topic question. Do you experience frame drops in mobile legends? Especially when switching from one app then back to mobile legends?

Thanks for this.. it's just as u said, the blue light is coming from the Temperature Control, once I toggled the auto control on/off the blue light is there.. now that u mentioned it I remember I recently updated Game Booster few days back.. Now I know where the light is coming from.. Thanks again.. :fingers-crossed:
I used to get lot of Frame Drop few weeks ago after this latest update with the "new form of spells", I could barely play anything.. but I didn't do anything tbh and just keep playing until now, and it's way better now. There is still some Frame Drops but it's only when super heavy stuff going on at once in the game, compared to the first time I experienced it, it's so light now even tho I didn't try to do anything to fix it.

Thanks for the confirmation too. I used to have a lot of frame drops but it was due to Game Booster and Game Optimizing Service not working well. After the update, it improved the performance significantly but there was only one bug left. It was when switching from the Game to another app, then going back to the game, it causes the game to start frame Dropping.
Hopefully it makes the update better on the coming days.
I am not happy with the way my Fold handles notifications. Remember when Samsung used an LED for such purposes -- my Note 3 has one Leaving out useful features is not my idea of progress. If anyone has a good way to handle notifications on the fold, I'd love to hear it.
Could try notify theres a few apps like it
hmm..... i have 2 points:
1. why buy a device being fully aware that it doesn't have the feature you're looking for, and then complain about it on a forum?
if you're still using a note 3, just because you fell behind and got used to a specific feature, doesn't automatically make it a "useful" feature.
2. actually, it has progressed. its called always on display.
the notification led was a 1 trick pony. it could only light up your last notification color. the always on display will show multiple app notifications.
NOT ONLY does it show your notifications, you have a clock, a battery percentage, and even your calendar for the day, if you change the always on display face to that specific one.
if you have something against the always on display, i've love to hear it. i'm genuinely curious why anyone would choose a notification led vs. an always on display these days.

oh, i forgot to add, on the always on display, you can even double tap ON the notification icon for whatever app is showing, and it'll launch you right into that app.

You misunderstood. Firstly, I do not use the note 3 (which also sports a useful IR blaster) on a daily basis.
I was able to use the Note 10+ with an add-on to make the notification on the AOD easier to notice. I guess I should have asked if anyone tried any of the several AOD utilities on the Fold. I guess it will be a case of trying myself
